SS&2SESm men never dispraise
SaExNES girls until they are
c@ Tilted, and that feeling
- only lasts forty-eight
hours, because another girl turns up.
When a fellow gets discharged from his
EMPLOYMENT two or three times he finds 1t
very hard TO get anybody to have co nh
dence in him. But he can be kicked out
of a whole row of houses, one at a time,
and the girls in the next block will reach
for him all the same.
I know a fellow who had been Tilted
twenty-five times in different nsighbor-
hoods, and he is nov in tow with about
half a dozen girls. Those girls all have a
kind of secret code. You know how 1t Is.
You are introduced to a girl. She invites
Won to call. You call. She invites you to
a party. You 90. She introduces you to
a circle. The whole circle discusses you,
calmly apportions you to three or four;
thew gradually reduce themselves to one.
Then you're lost. She wearies of you and
Won yet kicked out of the circle. Well,
| all those girls have discussed every n OF
your young men friends the same way.
This is what q cynical girl told me. l
don't know of my own knowledge.
But talk of trades unions and knights
of Labor! Their organization dwlndieS
into absolute crudeness when compared
with U. O. NJ. G. UNITED Order OF Mar
riapeable Girls). don't say this exactly
the way the thing is done, but 1t IS the
principle condensed. They have a KIND OF
secret register, ana they have yeu all down
fine. For instance, this Is the idea:
Name: Henry Jones; good looking;
twenty-five years old; dresses well; good
for ice cream any time: very soft; melts at
CO.
William Smith-Very forward; plain
but attractive; very conceited; thinks
eyerybody's in love with him; boils
over at about 1902; champagne and bird
Alexander MISREPRESENTATION; good
looking boy; very young; boils over at %.
John Jenkins-Fine looking; clever;
hard to deal with; dangerous; boiling point
not yet discovered.
James ,Jobson-Very infiammable; sim
mers at So, boils at go, explodes at 75'.
That's the kind of analysis. But please
don't believe you have no chance becau,e
the girls guy you behind your back. That
does not mean anything bad. 1t means
they've got you on the list, and are sure
YOU won't be missed. But boys if any of
the girls ask you who gave you this infor-
nation, please don't give it away. They
always keep their secrets quiet; and that
is why | amgiving you this one.
Lovely June, the month of roses, has
come and gone, and the record OF we'd
dings has not been so extensive as was
anticipated earlier in the season. No
good explanation of this can be given ex-
cept the fact that summer III its rush to
get here gave spring no chance to get in its
work on the young mans fancy by turn
ing it to thoughts of love. However it
may be attributed to the growing con-
| yiction that the autumn is the best time to
ioin hearts and hands, and it is probable
that that season will after awhile become
the most popular for marriages. At least it
is the most sensible.
The question Of chaperours aud escorts
is agitating a number Of society people In
the city, especially young ladies. When a
party is given in Wheeling n list" is got
ten out containing the names of the young
ladies and gentlemen who are to be in
yited, and the young gentlemen are re-
quested to check off the name of the young
lady they wish to take. A young lady was
overheard to remark the other evening
that this was a relic of barbarism, or
words to that effect; that the girls were
displayed there like a lot of goods for pur-
chasers to come up and take their choice.
She didn't like the idea a bit, and thought
the only remedy was for the young ladies
to be accompanied to the parties by their
chaperones and let the gentlemen go alone;
then they could accompany them home.
While this idea would not be exact
ly applicable to Wheeling, there Is
no doubt that the young lady of the
present day is very much hampered
in her movements if she lacks either an es-
cort or q chaperon, and most of our
Wheeling girls positively decline to 60 to q
party with the intention of participating
unless they nave a male escort, and pretty
girls are often condemned to stay at home
on this account. This feeling should not
exist, for it is just as proper for a young
lady to attend a party with a chaperone as
with a young gentleman, and the gentle
men should pay her as much attention.
Taking it altogether the young lady who
goes with her mother or chaperone often
has a better time than those who 60 with
gentlemen, because there art always q
number of the latter who go alone.
Doings in social circles are keeping up
their Lively gait, and are rather numerous
for this season. For the coming week a
swell breakfast, o high tea and a reception
and hop are on the tapis, and they will be
supplemented by several smaller affairs.
The private picnics booked for the
Fourth" are numerous and many Of our
society people will spend the day out in
the woods.
On Tuesday last Mr.. and Mrs. Wm. l..
Hearne entertained about twenty-five
couples of their friends in a delightful
